29.2 - Market risk
 
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks: market risk, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and liquidity risk.
 
The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to risks, apart from those mentioned in note 29.10 and 29.11.
 
29.3 - Foreign currency risk management
 
The Company undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise.
 
Except for the subsidiaries that have its local currency as functional currency, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. In 2022, 79.50% of the Company's revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars. Because the majority of its personnel are located in Latin America, the Company incurs the majority of its operating expenses and capital expenditures in non-U.S. dollar currencies, primarily the Colombian peso, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Peruvian sol, Uruguayan peso and Brazilian real. Operating expenses are also significantly incurred in Indian Rupee, Great Britain Pound and European Union Euros.

Foreign exchange sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos, Indian rupees, European Union euros, Mexican pesos, Pounds sterling and Uruguayan pesos.
 
The following tables illustrate the Company's sensitivity to increases and decreases in the U.S. dollar against the relevant foreign currency. The following sensitivity analysis includes outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at December 31, 2022 and adjusts their translation at the year-end for changes in U.S. dollars against the relevant foreign currency.

 Total(83,926)6,761 (9,325)

As explained in note 29.10, the subsidiaries in Argentina, Colombia, United States, India, Mexico, Chile and Uruguay entered into foreign exchange forward and future contracts in order to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate and reduce the impact in the financial statements.

The effect in equity of the U.S. dollar fluctuation against the relevant foreign currency as of December 31, 2021, is not material.

Depreciation of the Argentine Peso

During 2022, the Argentine peso experienced a 72.5% devaluation from 102.62 Argentine peso per U.S dollar to 177.06 Argentine peso per U.S dollar.
 
During 2021, the Argentine peso experienced a 22.1% devaluation from 84.05 Argentine peso per U.S dollar to 102.62 Argentine peso per U.S dollar.

29.4 - Interest rate risk management
 
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its cash and bank balances and its credit facilities. The Company's credit line in the U.S. bear interest at a fixed rate between 1.5% or 1.75% depending on the amount borrowed, as of December 31, 2022 the Company does not maintain debt related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement During the beginning of 2021 the Company chose to discontinue the hedge accounting of the remaining interest rate swap acquired during 2020, since the hedged future cash flows were no longer expected to occur. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recognized a loss of 255, a gain of 132 and a loss of 132 included in the line item "Other comprehensive income", respectively, and a net gain of 3,701, a net gain of 837 and a net loss of 127 through results of profit and loss, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 the Company recognize a loss of 605 through results of profit and loss as consequence of the discontinuation of the hedge accounting for three of the four swaps. Hedges of interest rate risk on recognized liabilities are accounted for as cash flow hedge.

Interest rate swap assets and liabilities are presented in the line item "Other financial assets" and "Other financial liabilities" within the statements of financial position, respectively.

29.5 – Liquidity risk management
 
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under credit facilities. See note 21.
 
Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company's liquidity position on the basis of expected cash flow.
 
The table below analyzes financial liabilities into relevant maturity groups based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

29.6 - Concentration of credit risk
 
The Company derives revenues from clients in the U.S. (approximately 62%) and clients related from diverse industries. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company's top five clients accounted for 25.6%, 26.7% and 30.6% of its revenues, respectively. One single customer accounted for 10.7%, 10.9% and 11.0% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Credit risk from trade receivables is considered to be low because the Company minimize the risk by setting credit limits for its customers, which are mainly large and renowned companies. Cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk because these assets are held with widely renowned financial institutions (see note 13) .

29.7 - Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
 
Except as detailed in the following table, the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities included in the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, are a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the short time of realization.

29.8 - Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position
 
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into a three-level fair value hierarchy as mandated by IFRS 13, as follows:
 
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
 
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

(1) Mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit or loss, based on the changes of the fund's net asset value.
 
There were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
 
The Company has applied the market approach technique in order to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities.

When the inputs required by the market approach are not available, the Company applies the income approach technique. The income approach technique estimates the fair value of an asset or a liability by converting future amounts (e.g. cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (i.e. discounted) amount. When the income approach is used, the fair value measurement reflects current market expectations about those future amounts.
29.9 Level 3
 
29.9.1 Contingent consideration

As described in note 26.1, certain acquisitions included contingent consideration agreements which are payable on a deferred basis and which will be subject to the occurrence of certain events relating to the acquired company's financial performance like revenue, gross margin and operating margin.

The actual amounts to be paid under the contingent consideration arrangements may be increased proportionally to the target's achievements and are not subject to any maximum amount.

The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements are estimated by using a probabilistic framework such as Montecarlo simulation where each iteration was discounted to present value using a discount rate. In other cases the contingent consideration was estimated by discounting to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

The Company also performed an estimation of the potential minimum amount of all future payments that could be required to be made under the agreements.

As of December 31, 2022 the nominal value, minimum amount and fair value amounted to 74,024, 66,702, and 59,686, respectively.

As of December 31, 2021 the nominal value, minimum amount and fair value amounted to 60,233, 60,233, and 58,180, respectively.

During 2022 the Company paid the aggregate consideration of 26,708 related to the target achievements during the year 2021. The Company also paid a remaining consideration of 2,251 through the subscription of 8,761 shares related to the target achievements during the year 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 the results from remeasurement of the contingent considerations were decrease of 967 increase of 4,322, and increase of 2,431, respectively. During 2022 it mainly includes a gain of 8,010 related to Bluecap and Navint acquisition, and a loss of 6,926 related to Atix, Habitant and Cloudshift acquisition.

The following table summarizes the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 fair value measurements:

Contingent consideration59,686Risk adjusted discount rate
Between 3.84% and 15.00%
An increase in the discount rates by 1% would decrease the fair value by $980 and a decrease in the discount rates by 1% would increase the fair value by $655
Contingent consideration59,686Expected revenues
Between 2,382 and 28,039
An increase in the expected revenues by 10% would increase the fair value by $1,421 and a decrease in the expected revenues by 10% would decrease the fair value by $776
Contingent consideration59,686Expected operating margin
Between 31.50% and 54.89%
An increase in the expected operating margin by 10% would increase the fair value by $307 and a decrease in the expected operating margin by 10% would decrease the fair value by $1,843

29.9.2 Convertible notes
As described in note 3.12.8, the Company entered into several convertible notes that include the right to convert the outstanding amount into equity shares of the invested companies. The fair value of such convertible notes was estimated using unobservable inputs. The amounts of gains and losses for the period related to changes in the fair value of the convertible notes were not material.

29.9.3. Reconciliation of recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3

29.11 Hedge accounting

During 2021, certain subsidiaries from Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and India entered into foreign exchange forward and future contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the salaries payable in the local currency of each country. During 2022 the subsidiaries Chile, Colombia, India, Brazil, Peru and the United States of America entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the salaries payable in the local currency of each country The Company designated those derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency risk in cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the ‘finance income’ or ‘finance expense’ line items. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item (i.e. Salaries, employee benefits and social security taxes).

As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recognized a net loss of 2,332, 136 and 272, respectively, included in Salaries, employee benefits and social security taxes and a net gain of 1,305, loss of 131 and a net gain of 165, respectively, included in other comprehensive income.

During 2020, Globant, LLC entered into four interest rate swap transactions with the purpose of hedging the exposure to variable interest rate related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with certain financial institutions. By the end of that year the Company chose to discontinue three of the four interest rate swap transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company chose to discontinue the remaining interest rate swap since the hedged future cash flows were no longer expected to occur. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a loss of 255 and a gain of 132, respectively, included in the line item "Other comprehensive income". The Company designated those derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of interest rate risk in cash flow hedges. Hedges of interest rate risk on recognized liabilities are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Foreign currency forward contract and interest rate swap assets and liabilities are presented in the line ‘Other financial assets’ and ‘Other financial liabilities’ within the statement of financial position.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, Globant LLC entered into equity forward contracts to manage the risk associated with the volatility of the Company's market share price use to determine the cash-settled shared based plan. The Company designated those derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of market share price risk in cash flow hedges. Hedges of cash-settled share base payment risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Since the Company separates the forward element and the spot element of the forward contract and designates as the hedging instrument only the change in the value of the spot element of the forward contract, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge, except for the portion that affects comprehensive income for the granted shares in which the rendering of services over time lapse has already occur to the date of report. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the "other financial results, net" line item. Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognized hedged item (i.e., Sharebased compensation expense).
As of December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of 1,341 included in the line item "Share-based compensation expense - Cash settle", a loss of 2,528 included in the line item "Gains and losses on cash flow hedges", from other comprehensive income, and 17 included in the line item "Net gain arising from financial assets measured at fair value through OCI".
